Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 906 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name oeis-mcp-server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 6 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 906 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 906 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    18 of 18 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

Capabilities

Tools 6

oeis_get_cross_refs

List sequences related to an OEIS entry. direction outgoing returns the A-numbers named in the entry's cross-reference (Cf.) lines, with any parenthetical note beside each; direction incoming returns entries that mention this A-number anywhere. Each row carries the related sequence's name and first terms. 10 rows per page.

Discovered
oeis_get_sequence

Fetch one OEIS entry by A-number. Returns the name, data-line terms, offset, keywords, author, dates, and the sections: comments, formulas (recurrences and generating functions), examples, programs (Maple, Mathematica, PARI, Python, …), references, links, cross-references, and extensions. When the sections together exceed 24,000 characters of serialized JSON, the core fields come back with a section outline instead; call again with sections to pick what to read. A selection past 100,000 bytes comes back in parts cut between items: pass nextFromItem as fromItem, with the same sections, for the next part.

Discovered
oeis_get_terms

List terms a(n) of a sequence with their indices n. Reads the entry's b-file when it has one — often thousands of terms beyond the data line — and otherwise the data line itself. Values are exact decimal strings of any size. A slice stops at limit terms (at most 1000 per call), at about 100,000 bytes, or at the end of one 1 MiB part of a larger b-file, whichever comes first; nextFromIndex continues it.

Discovered
oeis_identify_sequence

Identify integer sequences that contain a run of consecutive terms, e.g. "1, 2, 5, 14, 42". Returns up to 10 matches per page in OEIS relevance order, each with the index n at which the supplied run begins. For the best hit rate supply about 6 terms and leave off the first one or two, since sources disagree on where a sequence starts. OEIS matches only the first terms of each entry (its data line, at most about 270 characters), not its b-file, so a run from far into a sequence is not found. Takes up to 60 terms, each an integer of at most 200 digits or the wildcard _ for one unknown term.

Discovered
oeis_list_reference

Look up OEIS vocabulary used by the other tools: keyword flags (nonn, core, tabl, cons, …), search syntax (prefixes, operators, wildcards, sort orders, paging window), and identifier conventions (A-numbers, legacy M/N numbers, offsets, b-files).

Discovered
oeis_search_sequences

Search the OEIS using its query syntax: plain words, "quoted phrases", comma-separated terms, prefixes (keyword:, author:, name:, comment:, formula:, program:, xref:, id:), | for OR, and a leading - to exclude. Returns up to 10 summaries per page. For identifying a sequence from its terms, oeis_identify_sequence is the direct route.
